00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Mine have been together for years and haven’t spawned. I’m thinking of putting on some Barry White, lighting a few nonscented candles and putting a thimble full of red wine into the tank to see if it helps it along.

Give them raw oysters

Not sure what we’re thinking here!

Might work Kev never know....
Worth a try!

So like this?

Amanda I am going to say as obviously not the expert to keep lights to 8 hours a day, lower white a bit to 4 hours from like 10-2 and start there.

I think it can be hit or miss. I had three and they did a great job on the Aiptasia, and then on an Acan but they were just stealing the food, then a Gold Hammer that was too near their den, and started on a Green Hammer and Peach Hammer... they went to my LFS and the Peach and Green Hammers are recovering. The Aiptasia have started a slow comeback... Given the choice, I'd use Berghia every time. But I know several others that never had an issue with their Peppermints.

I appreciate your response, definitely something to think about there.

I still have one in my tank. I see it once every couple of months.

Kevin, I bought a peppermint shrimp. He's small and usually stays in one place. He is on the side where the Aiptasia is, but hasn't come out much or eaten the Aiptasia yet. Did yours go after it right away? I'm hoping mine will help keep.it at bay, if nothing else. Along with some berghia

Some of those peppermint shrimp are not the right ones!
You need to be extremely careful with peppermint shrimp!!!!
They will eat your LPS!!
I’ve see it a bajilion times !
Even the correct peppermint shrimp will eventually snack on LPS!
I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

My go to is peppermint shrimp, quick and second Berghia nudibranchs , takes a couple generations. I’ve used both.

Stocking Nudis in your tank should go off tank size and the amount of aptasia you have.
I had about 30 medium to large aptasia in my 53 gallon Red Sea max.
I added 6 quarter inch berghias and 2 one inchers.
A little over 2 weeks all aptasia were gone and that was 5-6 weeks ago that they were introduced.
Peppermint shrimp will eat LPS and it doesn’t matter what type of peppermint shrimp it’s not a matter of if but when!
I’ve even had them eat Acros!
